Are you a permanent faculty or staff person at Clark College interested in eReaders but haven’t had the opportunity to try one? Now you can experiment at the main campus library!

Four eReaders (2 Nook Simple Touch and 2 original Kindle keyboard devices) were received via a Washington State Libraries grant. Now, full or part-time permanent staff may check out an eReader for 21 days plus 2 renewals, just like a book. They are not preloaded. Library staff can assist you with registering the device to your own account and finding free ebooks online from websites such as Project Gutenberg. All devices are wiped clean with a “factory restore” when they are returned. You can also request the eReaders via our online catalog.

Could this technology be useful in your classroom, or could you find it useful in your personal life such as during a conference or sabbatical? Do you know how your students are using this technology to share highlights and notes? Drop by the Cannell Library and check out an eReader today!
